R44 Blade - What to do??

Hi,
We have had to scrap one of our R44 blades due to a failed tiny piece of bonding just beside the tip cap - about 1/2 the size of your baby fingernail!!!

So as they are the C016-5 blades we can not get 1 new one from Robinson as they don't make they any more and have to replace with 2 of the newer C005-12R blades

The blades have 7 years used on them and under 500 hours!!!!


So 2 questions I have to ask

1 - If you have got stung with this already what sort of discount did you get form Robinson / your main dealer?

and
2 - Is the one usable good blade worth anything? and if so where could i sell it?

Thanks for your help

TJ
